Thus, despite the fact that Wieman and others of similar persuasion found elements of Whitehead's philosophy congenial, and despite the fact that many others saw Wieman as a Whiteheadian, in retrospect one must conclude that Whitehead's influence on Wieman was very partial and that the influence of John Dewey, with a resultant emphasis on empirical observation and verification, was much more formative for Wieman's distinctively empirical and pragmatic theology.

In modern science the term «theory», or «scientific theory» refers to a given explanation, consistent with the scientific method, of empirical observation.

But since human beings usually deal with symbols (i.e., signs that already bear the imprints of prior interpretations), empirical observations become more or less complete instances of symbolizings that are inherently subject to reinterpretations.

Schweitzer's ethical mysticism begins with a reflective observation of the finite world («I am urge - to - life»), moves to an empirical generalization («in the midst of other wills - to - live»), is made cosmic by an intuitive insight, which is the completing or mystical element of thought («all is part of a cosmic or universal will - to - live»), and returns to the finite for experiential verification in ethical participation («Ethics alone can put me in true relationship with the universe by my serving it, cooperating with it; not by trying to understand it...

Still besides empirical observations and good inferences, the models are what are available to work with, and they serve several purposes quite well and they are the basis for improved models in the future.

The scientific method, with its emphasis on replicable, quantifiable empirical observations, is powerfully suited to the investigation of objective phenomena, but has a more difficult time with the investigation of subjective phenomena.

At the end of that piece, he quoted Richard Feynman concerning the empirical nature of the search for new scientific laws, and then closed with this assertion: «The most important component of climate science is careful, long - term observations of climate - related phenomena, from space, from land, and in the oceans.

Scientists can combine these observations with empirical models of Earth's space environment and thus forecast space weather for the government, power companies, airlines, and satellite communication and navigation providers and users from around the world.

My own perspective on this is that it would be a significant departure from earlier work by Trenberth if he really came with empirical evidence (i.e. data based on actual physical observations, rather than simply model simulations) to support his position.

Fifth, even if real scientific investigation (which doesn't stop with modeling but tests models by empirical observation) could tell us that, say, falling 50 % short of net zero «carbon» emissions would raise GAT by, say, 3 ° C and that that, in turn, would cause significant harms, that wouldn't tell us how we ought to respond.

In a optimal comparison of observations with a model every empirical value should have a weight that varies only based on empirical uncertainties in the particular value, not on it's closeness to either end of the full period.

They challenge this on rather solid empirical grounds and with physical arguments and data analysis that is every bit as scientifically valid as that used to support larger estimates, often obtaining numbers that are in better agreement with observation.

One may compare the empirical paleodata with recent observations and one may compare also with projections to the future.

It has been said that CAGW, as outlined by IPCC in its AR4 report, is impossible to falsify or corroborate with empirical scientific evidence from actual physical observations or reproducible experimentation.

Because the models are not deterministic, multiple simulations are needed to compare with observations, and the number of simulations conducted by modeling centers are insufficient to create a pdf with a robust mean; hence bounding box approaches (assessing whether the range of the ensembles bounds the observations) are arguably a better way to establish empirical adequacy.

R. Gates, I'm curious to know why you think a paper about what happens in models of sea level into the future is much better than (or even has much to do with) a critique of a paper analysing empirical observations over the recent past?

The process should start with a validation (with empirical data based on physical observations or reproducible experimentation) of the model - based hypothesis that AGW has been the primary cause of past warming and represents a serious threat to humanity and our environment.

There is a deep literature on the basic theory developed from first principles, models, experiments and observations (in many areas of physics, chemistry, geology, biology), and a large published body of empirical geophysical and biological evidence from real world systems, the majority of which is consistent with this underpinning science.

With regard to the sample size required for valid application of this modeling approach, we are hesitant to speak of sufficient sample sizes, since a large number of observations with little score variation over time (as in our second empirical application) does not necessarily provide richer information than a smaller sample with more fluctuatiWith regard to the sample size required for valid application of this modeling approach, we are hesitant to speak of sufficient sample sizes, since a large number of observations with little score variation over time (as in our second empirical application) does not necessarily provide richer information than a smaller sample with more fluctuatiwith little score variation over time (as in our second empirical application) does not necessarily provide richer information than a smaller sample with more fluctuatiwith more fluctuations.
